المعنى
Neatening one's hair.
خلفية ثقافية
The 'helmet hair' culture is real. Most public restrooms and office lobbies have large mirrors specifically so people can 'chải đầu' after their commute. In the past, long hair was a sign of virtue. Combing hair was a slow, meditative process using natural oils. Younger generations use 'vuốt tóc' more often if they use hair gel or wax, but 'chải đầu' remains the standard for basic grooming. In some villages, you might still see older women sitting on porches combing their very long hair in the afternoon sun.
Use 'đầu' for naturalness
Even though you are combing hair, saying 'chải đầu' sounds much more like a native speaker than 'chải tóc'.
Tone matters
If you say 'chai' (flat tone) instead of 'chải', it means 'bottle' or 'callus'.
